About This Quiz

With the increase in the number of broadcast channels on cable, the amount of cartoons expanded significantly in the '90s. Due to the massive variety of programs that were now available, there was pretty much a show for every taste. We'll use that variety to narrow in on the Hogwarts house that you truly belong in.

Did you feel drawn to shows where everyone got along and the drama was kept to an absolute minimum? While this combination might be unbearably dull to some, those who are meant for the Hufflepuff house are sure to love this kind of cartoon. They'd also be drawn to characters who work hard and are extremely patient.

Maybe you'd rather participate in a show that was a bit more intellectually stimulating. If you're drawn to the wise old man or woman characters, and you need your programming to be educational and a bit challenging, it seems clear that you are a Ravenclaw through and through.

Perhaps you have a need for the villain to be brilliant for you to truly engage with a story. If you're interested in strong leaders and those that accomplish great things, you might just be meant for Slytherin.

This is a stress-free Sorting Hat ceremony. It's as easy as waking up on a Saturday morning and watching cartoons in your pajamas. Enjoy.
